About the Book

Exhilarating short stories of women breaking free from convention Every now and then, right in the middle of an ordinary day, a woman rebels, kicks up her heels, and commits a small act of liberation. What would you do, if you were going to break out and away? Go AWOL from Weight Watchers and spend an entire day eating every single thing you want-and then some? Start a dating service for people over fifty to reclaim the razzle-dazzle in your life-or your marriage? Seek comfort in the face of aging, look for love in the midst of loss, find friendship in the most surprising of places? Imagine that the people in these wonderful stories-who do all of these things and more-are asking you: What would you do, if nobody was looking?

Review :
"Offer this up to the book club and--what the hell--serve chocolate."--"People" "Pitch-perfect . . . [encompasses] everything you've ever felt, but couldn't put into tangible words."--"Chicago Tribune" "Hard to resist . . . funny and occasionally heartbreaking."--"Entertainment Weekly" "Berg at her tart best . . . There is plenty of lemony snap to brighten the sweetness that flows through "The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted", a book that shows how well this writer understands women's wants, strengths and foibles."--"Hartford Courant" "Reading "The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted" is a lot like eating comfort food: it offers great satisfaction. . . . Berg understands the need we all feel to break free of strictures . . . and how small rebellions can lead to understanding."--"New York Post " "From the Trade Paperback edition."
